When MS Dhoni took over the captaincy he mercilessly got rid of senior members of the team who he thought weren’t exactly meant for modern day limited overs cricket and he was handsomely rewarded for his convictions.
In the same way, it is about time for India to blood youngsters who are waiting in the wings. While it is naive to believe that India would never be able to unearth a ‘new MSD’, players like Rishabh Pant, Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson should be tried.
As of now, Rishabh Pant seems to be the team management’s choice but Team India does have the luxury of trying out plenty of wicketkeeper-batsmen before settling on a long term project.
